"Part road trip, part revolution, Bike Rock is a joyful, pedal-powered protest wrapped in sharp wit, wild scenery, and unforgettable characters. It's the kind of story that makes you want to ride, resist, and believe in a better world--it's pure joy on two wheels!" Realizing the only way to end fossil fuel dependence is to take on car culture itself, best-friend athletes Tilly and Camas launch The Great Petal Pedal Ride-a bold, coast-to-coast bicycle odyssey powered by friendship, protest, and a manifesto on two wheels.

"Part road trip, part revolution, Bike Rock is a joyful, pedal-powered protest wrapped in sharp wit, wild scenery, and unforgettable characters. It's the kind of story that makes you want to ride, resist, and believe in a better world--it's pure joy on two wheels!" Realizing the only way to end fossil fuel dependence is to take on car culture itself, best-friend athletes Tilly and Camas launch The Great Petal Pedal Ride-a bold, coast-to-coast bicycle odyssey powered by friendship, protest, and a manifesto on two wheels. As their movement gains traction, a legendary elder of Burning Man-fresh off banning cars from the playa-joins forces with the bike-loving mayor of Utrecht. But powerful enemies loom: an ominous cabal of oil barons determined to keep the world chained to their black gold. Along the way, a dazzling musical starlet pedals for the cause on Route 66, a glacier becomes the backdrop for a surprise wedding proposal, and the beloved cast of irreverent, big-hearted misfits rally for a world where bikes come first-and cars are left in the dust. Book 3 in the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series, Bike Rock is a fast, funny, novella-length cli-fi adventure filled with satire, scenic beauty, radical joy, and just the right amount of romance. Laugh-out-loud funny and deeply hopeful, it's a ride you won't want to miss. "In these wonderful stories, Kalfsbeek addresses important environmental issues through the loving, gentle hands of a cast of characters that are easy to connect with. One wants to be part of this healthy gang; it is easy to fall in love with one or two of them. She has found an avenue to address these critical issues that must be talked about but without a heavy hammer. A delightful read that will fill you with hope and a forgotten bounce in your step or pedal." -Chris White, author of Wind, Waves and a Suicidal Boat About the Author Avis Kalfsbeek is the author of Bike Rock, the third book in the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series-a smart, satirical, and joyfully rebellious collection of outdoor climate adventures that tackle big environmental issues with heart, humor, and a healthy dose of chaos. In Book 3, Bike Rock, Avis trades the high seas in Book 2 for the open road, spinning a cross-country bicycle revolution into a story of pedal-powered activism, irreverent friendship, and wildly creative resistance. From car-free utopias and musical protest rides to oil barons, glacier weddings, and a manifesto on two wheels, her storytelling captures the radical joy of fighting for a better world-even when the uphill climbs get steep. She lives with her own water dog, Teo Panadero Pescadero, riding coastal trails and mountain switchbacks where bikes, nature, and imagination always have the right of way.
